After EDC Chicago, Joliet residents continue voicing complaints
Over Memorial Day Weekend, residents of Joliet, Illinois were very disturbed by the celebration of the first Electric Daisy Carnival in Chicagoland -- over 500 noise complaints were filed against the festival in the three day period. Although Joliet City manager was hopeful the festival would be welcome back in following years and Insomniac cited they immediately complied by turning down the sound on all of its stage by 33 percent, residents continued to voice their concern at Monday's city council meeting in the Chicago suburb
Electric Daisy Carnival Chicago marred by 500 noise complaints
Last weekend Electric Daisy Carnival invaded the Chicago Speedway in Joliet, a small suburb outside of the city, for the first time in its history. The event was the first EDC to feature a full camping experience and was host to a collection of the most prominent names in dance music. As seems to be the case with any dance music event, the festival served as the target for countless complaints from residents in Joliet and neighboring towns. Over the course of the three day event over 500 noise complaints were filed against the festival, stirring dissent amongst long time residents who claimed to have heard the thumping bass well into the early morning.
Electric Daisy Carnival rumored to invade Chicago for Memorial Day Weekend
This past Saturday, Pasquale Rotella, outspoken CEO of Insomniac, posted a photo to his Instagram and Twitter alluding to a special announcement coming soon for the city of Chicago. While details are still scarce, the event is being rumored to be held on Memorial Day weekend - which may be in direct conflict with the Future Sound Dance Music Festival scheduled for the same weekend. As of writing, the promotional company behind FSDMF, Aura Presents, has reportedly filed for bankruptcy - leaving the festival's future extremely uncertain and opening the door for Insomniac and EDC Chicago to bring its world-renowned brand to the Windy City.
